CHAPTKR XVII.—(Continued.)
She had ft pretty little brass stand,
a tray, spirit lamp and kettle, and with
thla apparatus she always made the
tea herself with much pride, and some
help from Dick. It generally fell to
Dick's lot to light the lamp, but to
day she was all ready for him, and
had but to turn up the light a little
to Save the water boiling.
"There,” she said, after about five
minutes,” and handing him a cup of
tea. Now tell me all—everything."
•‘Well,’’ said Dick, finding himself
thus fairly up fn a corner, und unable
to put off the evil moment any longer,
"I went."
"Yes?” eagerly.
"And I saw her ladyship.”
"Oh! and is she up?"
“Up! My dear child, Lady Aylmer
Is as well as I am,” he answered.
Dorothy looked at him !u wonder.
“Oh! Dick,” she cried, "but what a
wicked old man?”
"Ah! I fancy It runs In the blood,”
said Dick, easily. "One man couldn't
have so much original sin of Ills own
as the old savage lias; It must be he
rsdlty.’’
“Then do you think you will tell
horribly wicked stories when you are
Lord Aylmer, Dick?” she asked, ro
guishly.
"Perhaps—who knows? All the same
A there Is one story I shall never tell
^ yon," drawing her tenderly toward
him,' “l shall always be true us tbo
Gospels when I tell you that I love
you better than any other woman In
all the world.”

throbbing and beating with a sicken
ing sensation of fear. ''Dick,” she
Mid In a whisper, "is It very bad news
that you are trying to break to me—
does It mean India, after all?"
Dick looked straight Into her clear
eyss. "My dear little love,” he said,
“I am afraid It does mean India, after
all; but If it docs. It shall mean India
for us both.”
He told her everything then—how
Lady Ayl mer had received him, how
she bad openly declared that her hus
band had some scheme of Ills own to
get rid of them both, how the old sav
age had received him, and what end
their Interview had come to. But, of
couree," be wound up, "although 1
took time to consider It, my mind was
made up In a moment. 1 shall refuse
the appointment."
There was a moment's silence.
"Dick, dearest," said Dorothy, In a
quivering voice, "Is it a very good
thing to be a military secretary to a
governor-general ?”
“Oh, well—yes—It Is, dear," he ad
r mltted.
“I mean, would you have refused It
if you had not been married, If you
had never seen me?"
■v“No, I don't suppose I should. I dare
say I should never have bothered to
get such an appointment, because, as
you know, I hate the very Idea of go
ing to India, but, at the same time,
to be quite honest, I don't suppose 1
should have refused. 1 don't suppose
any man in his senses would.”
Dorothy drew her breath sharply,
and for a minute or two did not speak.
“Dick, darling,” she said at length, "it
Is true that you are married, but 1
don't Bee that that Is any reason why
you should not be in your senses, too."
“What do von mean Dorothy9” he
asked quickly.
j‘‘Well, Just this. Supposing that
liord Aylmer had let you refuse this
appointment, and had not made himself
? j,disagreeable about your allowance, we
I should have to go on Just as wc are
doing now. And, of course, Dick dear.
I should like to be Mrs. Aylmer Instead
I of Mrs. Harris, and to live with the
r regiment rather than In Palace Man
ya. slons; but—but, at the same time, since
there Is so much to be gained by it.
1 1 would Just os soon be Mrs. Harris in
one place as in another, if 1 must be
Mrs. Harris at all."
Dick caught her close to him. "Do
rothy, you mean-" he began.
"I mean." she ended (Irmly, "that I
would sooner go to ludta ns Mrs. Har
ris than drag you down In your pro
fession. and put you at loggerheads
with your ancle; because he la your
uncle, and the head of your family,
i ten though he Is such an old savage
ns he Is,”
"Cut, my dear, my dear, do you
know that In that rase 1 should have
to go at once" he cried.
‘ Yts. I know that. Dick." she an
swered.
• Hut I can't leave you alone, ju t
now I can't. Dorothy." he exclaimed.
' It's Impossible, It would be Inhuman
Why, I should be out of my mind with
anxiety and distress "
"No. no you would bnow that I was
proud and happy In bw able to do
t -mothlng to help you," ahe replied
"I would rather that you ware her*,

lug for me And I shell not he alone
I shall hate Harhara. you know Hat*

' No, I reboot let you da It," he
said, when she paused
' Yea. yea, you van. dear He ••>!#«. M

to afford to send the child home. If
the climate was bad for It. Why, Dick
dear, we should not be ablo to afTord
to come home ourselves. If we could
not stand the heat.”
"That Is true," he admitted.
"And don’t you think,” she went on
eagerly, "that I would rather live as
I am doing now for a year or two
longer than I would run the risk of see
ing you die, perhaps, because we had
not money to bring us home? Just
think what I should feel like If wo were
In such a case as that."
"But, darling, you don’t know—you
don't realize how very different life
would be out there,” he urged. "Here,
very few people take the trouble to
notice us, one way or another, and If
they do, It does not much matter. But
out there, as military secrotary, I
should have a lot to do. I should
scarcely have a moment to myself. I
should not be able to go anywhere
with you, and probably very seldom be
able to come and see you.”
But you would be able to come some
times,” she answered, with a brave
smile. "Every one knows that half a
loaf is better than no bread, and If
one cannot get even half a loaf, it Is
foolish to quarrel with the slice which
keeps one from starving.”
Dick’s heart felt like to break, "Doro
thy, Dorothy," he said, "my dear little
brave, unselfish wife, every word you
sav makes me love von a thousand
times more than I did before. My dear
est, I giro In to anything that you
wish; you shall decide everything, and
I—I will give all the rest of my life
to trying to make you feel that you
dirt not throw away your love and con
fidence when you gave them to me.”
So they arranged that IJlck should
accept the appointment of military sec
retary to Lord Skevverslelgh, and that
two days later be should go and see
his uncle again, and tell him the de
cision to which he had come. Doro
thy had begged him to go and see him
the following day, but Dick held out
firmly there. No, he would have one
more day of liberty before he went
over to the enemy and gave himself
up.
"We will have a real happy day,
darling,” he said, when Dorothy had
given way about Imparting the news
to the savage. "By-and-by we shall
hare more money than opportunity of
spending It together—let us make hay
while we can. Klrst, we will go and

we will go to some good place and get
a little lunch; and afterwards have
a drive, come back here, dress, dine
somewhere, and do a theater after it.
There, whut do you say to that for a
real happy day?"
Dorothy said that It would be de
lightful, and thought—well, with some
thing like dismay, that she Bhould
never get through It all. Yet the fear
of once giving way anil breaking down
altogether kept her up, and she went
bravely through with that happy day.
which afterwards lived In her mind
as being one long spell of agony.
Anil after that she wore upon her
wrist Dick's trust gift to her—a golden
bangle, with two words Inscribed upon
It In little diamonds, which caught the
light and flashed their message at her
a hundred times a day—two simple
words, "Dlnna Forget,"

make their villians such unmitigated
villians that it is Impossible to And
one single ray of virtue wherewith to
redeem their character from Ite Inky
pall of utter blacknees. But let me
tall you that if all the women novel
ists who write stories In the English
language were to concentrate their ef
forts upon the task of trying to de
pict the villainy of Lord Aylmer’s na
tural depravity, I am afraid that In
the end they would have to call In
the aid of their masculine confrere*
to adequately complete the portrait.
For the noble lord was all bad, thor
oughly bad—what up In the north
country they call "bad, core through.”
Yet he had a delightful manner when
he chose, and In early middle age had
made a genuine lore-match with a
beautiful young woman at least six
teen years youngor than himself—a
penniless as well as a beautiful young
woman, upon whom he had lavished
so much love and attention that with
in three months of his marriage his
love had burned Itself out, and was
as dead as any dead volcano. A few
weeks later Lord Aylmer practically
separated himself from his wife, al
though they continued to share the
same house, and he appeared before
the world ns much as possible as if
no breach had ever been opened be
tween them.
Not by laird Aylmer’s desire, this—
oh! no, but because her ladyship had
never been so genuinely In love .with
him as he had been with her, and was,
moreover, perfectly alive to the solid
worldly advantages of being Lord Ayl
mer’s wife, the mistress of Aylmer’s
Field and of the handsome town house
In Belgrave Square.
"Of course I know that there are
others,” she said In reply to a dear
friend who thought It her duty to open
this young wife’s eyes, "and, of course,
T l/nnwr thnt A wlnwio tunnia imt t*1
of me; but I don’t mean to be got rid
of, and I put up with the other* be
cause I think doing so the lesser of
two evils. There Is only one Lady
Aylmer, and she la a strong and
healthy young woman, who means to
be Lady Aylmer for at least fifty years
longer. Yes, 1 know, my dear, all
that you feel about It. I quite appre
ciate your feelings toward me. Oh, yes,
It was your duty to tell me, but I am
not going to cut myself out of all that
makes life worth living Just to oblige
a husband who has got tired of mo
In three mouths.”
To this decision Lady Aylmer had
from that time forward kept most
rigidly. As far as her husband was
concerned, nothing seemed to annoy
her, and whenever she wished to do
so and condescended to try to get her
own way by means of a lfttle flattery,
she generally succeeded; and now that
Lord Aylmer had got Into the "sixties"
she was simply a stately, even-temper
ed, Iron-willed and exceedingly healthy
woman, who looked as If she meant
to live to be ninety.
It was partly on the subject of his
wife's extreme healthiness that Lord
Aylmer was thinking that morning as
he smoked his cigarette and tried to
assure himself that the twinge In bis
left foot were merely a sign of a com
ing shower and nothing in the world
to do with gout at all. And Just as a
worse twinge than usual made him
wince and shiver, the door opened gent
ly and a man-servant made his ap
pearance.

Wahiihvoton, May 30.—Th© land
locked bay of Santiago do Cuba, where
the Spanish fleet in now harbored, i*
known among coast traders uh india
cernible at any distance. It i» yet bitf
enough to afford anchorage even to a
large fleet of warships.
The entrant''' to the hart>or 1m narrow and pro
ceeds for a distance between high hills thut
tower above the bay seeming almost to touch
each other unless viewed from a point immedi
ately opposite the opening. The bay itself is
from five to six miles from end to end and it*
width varies from two to two and one-half
miles. Inside the entrance the bay spreads out
into a broad sheet of water that was described
by the American consul in 1 as ‘ ample for
commerce, being well protected by the hills
against the severest storm " The consul oon
tluues: “A little dredging would enable the
largest vessels to come to its wharves.”
The most formidable fortification to Ik* en
countered by the American fleet, should It at
tempt to enter the harbor, is More castle, which
stands high on the hill to the right of the en
trance. The castle In an ancient, piled up fort
ress, built in 1040. Just what late additions
have been mode to its armament is known only
to the Spanish government, but the castle has
been noted in years past more for its ancient,
picturesque appearance than for the destruct
iveness of its guns. The old fort is piled up
with many turrets and endless stairways that
climb from the water's edge to a huge buttle
door. A deep moat surrounds the castlo and
across it is a drawbridge that has not t>een
raised in centuries. In IkVfS. whan the American
consul wandered through the narrow passage*
of the harbor guard he reported that it would
offer ineffectual resistance to modern methods
of warfare.
La Batterln. a little star shape*! fort, adjoins
Morro castle at the entrance and mounts guns
of a more modern type than those of its neigh
bor. A little inside the entrance is Cayo Smith,
a small island which offers* opportunity for de
fense against a licet thut might pa*s Moro
castle. On this island is built a government
magazine, whero Spanish men-of-war and
troops in the island are furnished with arms and
ammunition. All explosives imported into the
island arc required by the government to be de
posited in the magazine, and it is possible that
the Spanish fleet landed there a fresh supply
j for the soldiers on the island,
j On the shore to tho le ft of the magazine is
for yearn.
Two riv€?rr*. El Caimane* and El Paradox, flow
Into the bay from the mountains, where are lo
cated the Cuban armies. The river* are not
larger than what are commonly called creeks in
America, and are noted for their shady recesses
and smooth water.
On the right side of the bay, near the mouth,
isClnco Ueales (fifty cents), a coaling station,
and between it and the lower end of the city are
several villas belonging to wealthy merchants
of the city. The most notable is La Cruz,
which is occupied by Charles II. Ziegenfuss,
manager of the Subbanllla y Maroto, the prin
cipal railroad of the province. Near the bout
landing of La Cruz the huge iron pier of the
Jurugua company stretches out into the water.
The pier cost &0G.0U0 und the ore which is
loaded at its side is of the richest description.
iKiing from C6 to 08 per cent pure. Some of this
ore found its way into the plate of our Ameri
can cruisers, and some of the 9:1,000,000 armor
plates of the Russian government were manu
factured from it.
The only other port in the bay is Punta
lllunca, which lies between La Cruz and the
city. The fort is said to bo well manned, and is
built on a bank of white surid.
The city of Santiago was once the island's
capital. It is situated in a natural amphithea
ter, with a background of mountains. Crum
bling walls, turrets and towers, houses with
pillored balconies, open courts, wide corridors
und big, heavily barred windows combine to
make it one of the most picturesque cities of
the West India*. At the back, the gray walls
of the city abattoir are ever present reminders
to aU American** of the fate of the Virginius,
for there It was that fifty-throe of her officers
und crew were* shot lu l*7J.
